2. What does BC mean as an acronym?

Be cool

BC stands for "be cool," a phrase that means "stay calm" or "calm down." A broseph might tell you to BC when you're stressing over something or look like you might freak out. Or, someone you are having a confrontational conversation with might tell you to BC in hopes of de-escalating a tense situation.

If someone tells you to BC, you may want to take a few deep breaths, count to 10, and remind yourself that YOLO. Whatever you're worked up or nervous about, it's likely NBD.

Example

BC, it's not a BFD
Don't tell me to BC, bro. I'll see you in the parking lot

When your friends tell you to BC, don't do this

BC is an acronym referring to the back cover of a book up for sale on eBay and other online sales sites. The back cover may contain images, text, or both about an author, book reviews, etc.
